For as little as Sneijder has contributed this season, his talent on the pitch will undoubtedly be missed at San Siro.

While that all may be true, this is simply another opening for FredyGuarin to further prove his worth on on one of biggest stages in the world.

The 26-year-old Colombian, who was signed by Inter last January, has been marvelous in Sneijder's stead so far.

In 18 Serie A appearances (13 starts) the ultra-creative midfielder has tallied four goals and two assists. He has created a team-leading (minus Sneijder) 3.2 shots and 2.8 successful dribbles per contest.

Overall, an average match rating of 7.23 is highly impressive for the former Porto star.

With Sneijder officially out of the picture, Guarin can now relax and continue to showcase his unique skill set.

He may not be the passer that Sneijder was, but Guarin is a fantastic playmaker capable of beating any defender when he has the ball at his feet, adds loads of creativity to Inter's midfield and has shown much more consistency than when he first arrived at San Siro.

While it will be difficult for the budding star to match Sneijder's accomplishments in Italy, Guarin has shown that he has the talent to significantly cushion the blow of the Dutchman's departure.
